Dane Dunning, a notable pitcher for the Texas Rangers, has been placed on outright waivers, which allows other teams the chance to claim him along with his $2.66 million salary for the upcoming season. This move follows a challenging 2024 season for Dunning, culminating in his demotion to Triple-A.

Since joining the Rangers in 2021 via a trade with the Chicago White Sox, Dunning has made a significant impact by starting 95 games and earning a 4.38 ERA over four seasons. His performance peaked during the 2023 season when he was lauded as the team’s pitcher of the year during their World Series campaign. The upcoming weeks will reveal his fate, as the Rangers can send him to the minors if he remains unclaimed.
